Lonely Planet review for Igreja de São Francisco de Assis
Built in the 17th and 18th centuries, this church just west of the Catedral da Sé is one of the best-preserved colonial structures in the city (note that there are actually two churches adjacent to each other, each with the same name; the church to the right also dates to the 17th century but is less architecturally important). The church, a classic example of Portuguese baroque, was closed for a major restoration at the time of research.
